To prepare, you typically combine the dry mix with wet ingredients such as milk or water and eggs. Whisk these together until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which can lead to tough pancakes. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
